  • [reaction: see text] A microwave-assisted reaction was developed to facilitate the construction of 4,5-disubstituted pyrazolopyrimidines. This one-pot two-step process involves a sequential S(N)Ar displacement of the C4 chloro substituent with various anilines and amines, followed by a Suzuki coupling reaction with different boronic acids. Using microwave irradiation leads to high product conversion, low side product formation, and shorter reactions.
